Sounds like a tough day Jen! Hopefully today will be better. The beauty of exercise is that it will always be there tomorrow. How many supercharged workouts have you done so far? Can't wait to see the nursery pics Meg! How nice of your sister to organize your nursery for you :) He/she will be here before you know it!…

Good morning ladies - happy Monday! :) I miss the drinking and flowers happy faces LOL Back at it again this morning. Level 2 - nearly did me in! Wes was outlasting me this morning. What a difference a week makes! The cardio nearly killed me and I wasn't able to keep my balance on any of the moves! The plan this week is…
-
You gals have been busy while I was gone! Sorry I've been MIA this week. The days in Calgary were really long. I was pretty much in my Jammie's at 7:00 every night. Wasn't able to sleep thru the night tho so it made the days even longer. Meg, you look terrific! Cannot wait for that little bambino to be born! It seems like…
-
That is shady! Had a good weekend! Went for a run before all the food on Sunday. Didn't log a thing - too hard. I wasn't as bad as I thought I would be but the scale was way up this morning. Oh well :\ I'm in Calgary now - just got back from dinner - another day of not logging. Actually, there will be no logging at all…
-
Our kitties just love to help don't they? :D I can't lay anything out without Nyxon thinking it's for her lol I'm sure that's exactly what charlie was thinking. The celebration last night was awesome! Brought back so many memories. I miss those days - hockey's not like it used to be. Had a pretty quiet day today. Our…
-
So you listened to the nun - good choice :D Meg, it won't be too long before you'll be enjoying again! I'm feeling pretty rough this morning :\ Took clients to the oilers game last night. Oh, I long for the days 3 drinks didn't give me a hangover lol! In 5 hours no less - it's not like I downed them really quick. I…
-
I do :) Plus I'm off tomorrow so it's 4 days for me! Nothing too strenuous - except eating, lots of eating LOL If I'm going to spend $40 on brunch I'm going to eat it all! No sugar or carb counting for me on Sunday. I may end up in a food coma afterwards tho :p My sister makes a mean apple crisp - one of my favorites!…
-
The one thing I do like is that when you finally find the post you want to post in, it takes you to the last one! No more picking the page and scrolling to the end! I'm interested in finding out what you think of supercharged, Jen. If we ever get thru Jillian due to our screwed up workloads, I might start supercharged. Or…
-
Yeah, I tried it to - didn't work!
-
didn't know we could. So much to learn! I hate change LOL
-
I'm not sure I like the new set up either. I had to find the NR group both times - it didn't' automatically add to my list. And the my topics was so easy! I'm sure it's just a few glitches they'll get worked out - hopefully sooner than later :smiley: I miss the smileys :'(
-
I gotta say, I missed the forums yesterday. I actually had to do work! It took some time to find the group again - my groups didn't automatically reappear. I didn't see a notification from FB that I had a message - sorry Jen. I wasn't ignoring you! You're both kick butt ladies (can't swear at work LOL) Changing toilets,…
-
I could have written your post OP - I was exactly the same right down to the occasional treat that would put at about 100g. I cut my sugar to about 35g a day by eliminating my apple at lunch, swapped out bran buds for pumpkin seeds in my yogurt and switched from 0% fruit yogurt to plain greek and lost 5lbs. My calorie goal…
-
Oh so close! But still - your last one!! It's quite an accomplishment! We traipsed back to West Edmonton Mall yesterday as I forgot (read the cashier forgot to give it back to me!) my Sears card! Of course being Sunday, we got there too early and had to wait over an hour for the store to open :grumble: We ended up at…
-
We got up early this morning and went to West Edmonton Mall - the big one - before the craziness started. I got everything done that I needed except Jake's present! I knew I was forgetting something! I did get some adorable baby gifts tho. Now just to get them in the mail. I'm really good on the shopping part - just not so…
-
I think all DHs are born with the PITA gene - I know mine sure was :bigsmile: I'm so amazed at the work you're doing yourself during your renos! Both of you - and Clam if she ever comes back! Our landscaping is almost done and all I had to do was write the cheque! I will hopefully be posting some pics on Facebook…
-
So we'll need to see pictures :wink:
-
Especially for a first born, I always buy sleepers, onsies, blankets and wash cloths. And some toys - rattles and teething ring type things. Things you can never get enough of. Second babies always get the nicer outfits LOL Of course you should get a coming home outfit - why wouldn't you? You only bring your firstborn home…
-
This is the 'son' that lives in Wisconsin. They come home to see his family at Christmas time - we missed them last year by mere hours :sad: I hope that doesn't happen this year. I can't wait to meet the little guy! If not Christmas, Greg's brother is getting married in May so I will get to see him then. I guess I need to…
-
We cruise Norwegian. This will be #7 I think - I've lost track LOL Canadian Thanksgiving isn't quite the big deal yours is - it is about turkey and pumpkin pie tho! Do two - who's going to complain? :wink: I'm so excited to announce that my grandson was born this morning - 10 days early! He certainly doesn't take after his…
-
I find it hard to believe you've gained 30lbs! You certainly don't look 7-1/2 months pregnant! Don't forget that 6-8 of those 40lbs gained will be baby! You've worked out the entire time - I'm sure you'll have no trouble losing it all. I love the lowest common denominator comment - if it common sense doesn't apply then you…
-
I would try tweaking your macros. I was in a similar situation - working out hard and although I wasn't gaining I wasn't losing either. My annual bloodwork always came back normal as well. I reduced my carbs to 100g a day and my sugars to about 35-40g and manged to break thru my 3 years long 'plateau'. Whatever change you…
-
I'm glad you enjoyed your shower Meg - did you wear the dress you showed us? Your poor pup has NO IDEA of how his life is going to change LOL At least he will enjoy the walks :smile: Good motivation! Jen - great job on getting 4 reps in on Stage 7. I don't think I ever managed 4. It's very tough! You're very brave to get…
-
Another light workout this morning. Wes still isn't feeling up to tackling Jillian yet (although I'm sure he'd literally love to do that LOL). I didn't have to go straight into the office this morning so I was able to add another 15 min to my bike ride. Did the same squats/press, lunge/bicep curls and pushups afterwards.…
-
What - you don't want to torture yourself a second time thru stage 7?? Whyever not?? :wink: Supercharged next eh? When do you think you'll start? I'm still not sure what my plan will be. I might do Jillian thru October and then start lifting again in November. Wes is still suffering - these dang colds seem to hang on for…
-
Cold and dreary day today :cry: Have no plans at all. Wes is still sick so I think it's going to be a quiet day. He wants to work out but I think he needs his rest. Jillian will still be there on Monday :wink: ready to kick his *kitten*!
-
Nice numbers Jenn - but I'm not sure what they mean? Are you given a timeframe to do them in? If so that's a huge improvement! Sorry, I'm not familiar with Insanity.
-
Quite the improvement isn't it? Lol I don't think I felt that until workout 4 or 5 :laugh: No plans at all this weekend. Although we may winterized the trailer on Sunday. Whoo Hoo party time :laugh:
-
I echo everything Jen said - I'd have never guessed you were 7 months along! The dress is cute too! I could certainly use some of your productivity. Nice run Jen - isn't it nice to feel like you've accomplished something? Our company is huge into the United Way - we do a huge campaign every year. My morning was spent with…
-
I found reducing carbs to about 75-100g and limiting sugars to about 40g helped me break thru a years long plateau. Good luck!
